Hope to see you there, Miss Brown = = =June 6th 2011= Hello parents! I hope you had a restful long weekend. Last week a newsletter went home asking you to complete an online survey about our new Junior Team wiki. The Junior Team would like to make a wiki that suits your needs. This survey will give you an opportunity to give us some feedback on what you'd like to see on the Junior wiki page so PLEASE take a few minutes to complete it. (It will only take a few minutes, I promise).

Here is our Junior Team wiki. We have just started it, so some links are still not available.

Here is the link to the online survey. []

=Thanks so much!= = = = = =May 23rd 2011= Hello! Just to let you know I've added a new activity under Resources for Home on our wiki. This is a good activity to build vocabulary. This is just an extension activity and is therefore optional. If you need the resources printed off, please let me know.

And...a small internet tip...

Did you know you can "Follow" our class blog? If you are a "Follower" you will get email updates when we post something new. = = = = =May 12th 2011=

Hello parents! In the session I held about the wiki, there was some talk about Facebook. I know sometimes there is a certain fear about Facebook, but I think we need to remember as adults we have an opportunity to model appropriate behaviour using these Web 2.0 tools. This link will take you to a discussion about using Facebook in the classroom. While I'm not going to start up a Facebook page for Room 7, I think it brings up some valid points for educators as well as parents. It outlines how establish your privacy settings the way you want them, as well as some ideas on how to use Facebook more effectively.



I hope this clears up some apprehensions you have about using what could be an effective internet resource.
